I'd like to meet:
Christopher Walken, David Sedaris, and the artist Brandon Bird. Charlie Rose, Sofia Coppola, Rivers Cuomo, Tom Ford. I'm not interested in meeting: Alpha males, body builders, anyone wearing gold chains or pooka shell necklaces. Also, anyone whose profile includes a picture of himself shirtless, or showing off a car or a tatoo. I promise, we don't have anything in common.
